For the average adult, you can expect to receive about 4 to 6 pounds of ashes, which is about the size of a small shoebox, or around 13 cups. However, cremated remains are more commonly measured in cubic inches, which is how the volume of cremation urns is expressed. One pound of a person's weight while alive will roughly correspond to one cubic inch of ashes. If you want a better estimate, you can use our cremation ash calculator to receive an estimate based on factors such as age, weight, height, gender, and bone mass.
